If I hadn't meant it when I said America needs to Grow the Fuck Up I do now. For the love of all reason why is anyone upset that Mark Zuckerberg's plan to bring the Internet to the developing world will increase Facebook's reach? Do you think that the people who will benefit from this will care. Hell no they wont care they will just be happy to play Candy Crush. There is no such thing as Altruism. Every action, no matter how selfless on the surface, always has an element of personal gain to it. Whether it is to take down someone or some organization that the actors do not like, or it is to increase the actors own power base, or to simply turn a profit doesn't matter in one way or another the person taking action is benefiting.why the hell does anyone care if
To claim otherwise is naive at best and disingenuous at worst. If you really care about improving the lives of people in the developing world than you should support Mr. Zuckerberg in this undertaking and support Facebook as well. Yes they will profit from this but they are still doing good at the same time. So why not take a minute and click on a couple of ads (editors note do the same on this blog) because that is how the revenue is generated to fund these endeavors (editors note and bar tabs). It costs you nothing and provides so much for the developing world (editors note: and bar tenders).
